NeoADAPT Trial Summary

This trial will treat patients with stage 2 and 3 triple negative breast cancer with a combination of drugs before surgery. Patients will receive 4 cycles of treatment and undergo PET scans and MRI to monitor

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with stage 2 or 3 triple negative breast cancer. Participants will undergo specific chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments, followed by imaging tests like PET scans and MRI to monitor response. Those showing complete clinical response go straight to surgery; others receive additional chemo before surgery.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of neoadjuvant therapies (paclitaxel, carboplatin, pembrolizumab) in patients with TNBC, using PET scans for early treatment adaptation. It explores whether changing therapy based on PET scan results can improve outcomes before surgery.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include nausea, hair loss, fatigue from chemotherapy drugs like doxorubicin and paclitaxel; low blood counts from carboplatin; skin reactions from pembrolizumab; hand-foot syndrome from capecitabine.
